Strategies to get the best Atlantic Beach rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Atlantic Beach. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfect New Bern rental home:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Whimsical Whale - Oceanfront Apartment has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our New Bern vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If not, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your group.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• If there's a specific New Bern attraction you are crazy about, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to stimulate new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
